Episode 61 - MBSing with Sean Kelley - X-Men

From the podcast

Sean Kelley is super into a lot of things because he's a super knowledgeable dude and fan, but he's especially super into the superheroes that make up the X-Men. He's been on board since X-Men #1 came out in 1991 (the best-selling comic book of all time!) and has been ravenously consuming the comics since then. Thus, of course, he has some stellar thoughts about what has worked and what hasn't in the film adaptations of said comics (and some other Marvel and non-Marvel properties just as some fun, relevant tangents). He also covers how his love of X-Men has evolved with age and authors and the different aspects of the series and characters that he has found to be enjoyable over the years. The conversation made me remember that I really need to see Days of Future Past and helped me discover a decent place to start if I want to get into X-Men comics, so maybe you'll have a similar experience. Get into it!
